Calcium pyrophosphate (CAT: M025146) is an inorganic compound composed of calcium and pyrophosphate ions, available in both dihydrate and anhydrous forms. It is commonly used in medical, dental, and biochemical research due to its role in biomineralization and joint pathology studies. In rheumatology, calcium pyrophosphate is studied for its involvement in calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD), also known as pseudogout. It is also utilized in toothpaste formulations as a mild abrasive and in ceramics for its thermal stability. Calcium pyrophosphate’s precise particle size and purity make it suitable for research in bone tissue engineering, crystallography, and biochemical mineral studies.
